Sliding Bathroom Door won't open all the way
This is apparently our fault. We failed to strap the bathroom slider open before returning home from a short trip. Now the door will only open about 2/3 of the way. I removed the panels above the door and was able to peer into pocket, but I couldn't see the problem. I'm reasonably certain that it is track related as the bottom of the door will still move a bit, but the top is definitely blocked.
I was not certain how to remove the door to get a better look. If someone knows how to remove the door correctly, I could use the help. My best guess is that a screw in the track has come loose and is obstructing the roller.
We're leaving on a 2 month trip right after Labor day and I need to get this fixed. DW is not too keen on squeezing in and out of the B-room for the duration.Jim & Gwen

If you removed the panel at the top already, removal of the door should be fairly easy. I've had mine off and all I had to do is removed that upper panel from the hallway and then lift the rollers off the track and take the door off. I don't think I took pictures at the time or I'd share them with you.

Thank, Paul, for the feedback. I had a feeling I'd be hearing from you.
I'll go out in the morning and pull it apart and see what's hanging things up.Jim & Gwen

Just to follow up...A screw backed out in the track. I recruited my daughter-in-law with her long, slender arms to reach into the pocket and tighten the screw. Naturally it was stripped so I had her remove it altogether. I was surprised to see that the screw was only 1/2 inch long and only 4 screws in the entire length of the track. I will correct this in the near future.
I can't really complain. We've had this Solitude for 15 months and have pulled a little over 6000 miles. Except for lubrication, cleaning and brake adjustment, I have had zero problems. I did replace the tires (Sailun) just for my piece of mind (and to avoid reading any more 50 page tire threads) after finding a bubble in one of the Westlakes.
Safe travelsJim & Gwen
